Without Chen Baosheng, they might have graduated from sports school and worked in society in obscurity.

Xinhua News Agency reporter Ma Bangjie Liang Hui
Asian games mountain bike race track, foreign coaches have been coming to the tents of the Chinese team to congratulate Chinese players on including all the two gold in mountain cross-country. Officials, athletes and staff passing by have cast envious eyes towards the warm atmosphere of the Chinese team, thumbs up one after another.
Chen Baosheng sat quietly in the tent, just like an old monk, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
Outside the tent, Shen Jinkang, chairman of China Cycling Association, introduced Chen Baosheng to the reporter, “he was born in a bicycle family. His father used to be a coach of the national team and he used to be a short-distance cyclist. After he came to teach mountain bike, he once trained several athletes who won the championship in the National Games and was the coach of the two National Games champions. It should be 5 years ago, he resigned from the coach of Yunnan province team, sank to the end, looked for seedlings, and then cultivated them carefully. These players won the National Games championship last year and entered the national team again. He has cultivated the champion of the National Games before, but he has a higher goal and wants to cultivate better mountain bikers.”
At the Tianjin National Games last year, Chen Baosheng’s champion harvest duo appeared. Since then, 20-year-old LV Xianjing and 19-year-old Ma Hao have won almost all domestic Mountain cross-country competitions. Their winning momentum continued to the Asian Games. On the 21st, Ma Hao won the gold medal in the men’s mountain bike cross-country competition of the Asian Games. Lv Xianjing still struggled to win the silver medal in the case of failure and failure in bicycle speed regulator.
If there were no Chen Baosheng, they might have graduated from sports school and worked in the society in obscurity.
Five years ago, in a bicycle race in Yunnan province, Chen Baosheng found that a child could keep him staring intently. “He is the youngest among all the players. He can’t reach the stirrup when sitting on seat, but he dares to fight with those old athletes, dare to fight, and is full of domineering. I began to pay attention to him all the time and transferred him from sports school to my training.” He said.
In this way, Chen Baosheng found Ma Hao. He appreciated Ma Hao’s domineering fighting spirit.
LV Xianjing is a rural child living on the mountain. He runs in the mountain all day long when he is in primary school, and has developed powerful heart and lung functions.
“He started to contact the bicycle when he was 14 years old, but at the beginning it made people feel as if he had been riding for many years. He has a lot of enthusiasm, and he also needs to take the car home from the team to practice when he comes home on holiday.” Chen Baosheng said, “compared with his talent, I prefer his spirit of study.”
Ma Hao and LV Xianjing have opposite personalities. The former is cheerful and outgoing, while the latter is restrained and dull. They are as close as brothers and feet.
In the men’s mountain bike cross-country race in the Asian Games, Ma Hao and LV Xianjing have left all their opponents behind since the fourth lap. The reporter asked Chen Baosheng, “Isn’t this an internal fight between teachers and brothers?”
“Absolutely not, they will not fight inside. Bicycles rely on teams to fight. They are a team competition and honor belongs to this team.” Chen Baosheng said.
All Chen Baosheng’s disciples should keep one rule: sacrifice spirit.
“No matter who wins the championship, I often say a word after the competition: the last place of the team is the champion. Without his sparring, his cooperation and his contribution, can you win the championship?”
Chen Baosheng has a set of unique training methods, and he never pity the children’s whining when he should increase the amount. A female team members said to the reporter quietly, “Chen’s guidance is really tough sometimes. We all practice vomiting, and he still needs to add more. However, his method is really useful.”
Chen Baosheng, Ma Hao and LV Xianjing have formed an efficient tacit understanding over the years. “The coach doesn’t like to talk. Sometimes he gives him a look and we know what to do.” Ma Hao said, “We are grateful to him. Without him, we would not have our present day. Therefore, we cherish all the things he gave us and never relax in training.”
After the Asian Games, Ma Hao and LV Xianjing will have the opportunity to go to Europe for long-term training and competition, which is the treatment that Chinese mountain drivers have never had before.
“They need to go to Europe to improve themselves, and their efforts deserve a better future.” Chen Baosheng said.
Chen Baosheng hopes that the vigorous Ma Hao and LV Xianjing will become what kind of mountain bike players in the future? To this, he smiled and did not answer.
